Great to see this on hacker news. E-flux publishes a lot of voices (artists, continental philosophers, and others) that have sound, intellectual criticisms about te ways we incorporate technology into our lives—and I think it’s important for tehnologists to hear them. It’s not common for these voices to reach traditional comp-sci/mega tech spheres.
They put out a nice series of readers based on their journals and other material. I recently read a great one that collected some of the works of Hito Steyerl.
- chobeat 7y agoI'm trying to work in that direction on many fronts. Hackernews is not really one of them but this post was really in Hackernews style so I decided to post it here.
- voidhorse 7y agoThat’s great. This is something I’m interested in as well. I found your critical essays repo on github. I have committed time to studying the philosophy of technology and am particularly familiar with the works of the Frankfurt school, some of Paul Virilio’s work, and the work of Lewis Mumford. I’d be happy to contribute if you’re looking for contributors for any critical projects.
- chobeat 7y agoWell, if you want to suggest some proposal for the reading list, I would love to include your contributions. My projects are very local: Tech Worker Coalition in Berlin e Gambe.ro in Italy, so I don't think there's any room in those.
